Apex Question

[dorinmoon1964]

Ok. New to hobby and Apex. I have been told to run my skimmer during cycling to help break it in. My apex is shutting down every morning for what I think is feed cycle, but I don't have a feed cycle selected. Attached is a screen shot. How to I set so this does not shut off??? Thanks!

What do you mean by apex is shutting down in the morning?

Power shuts off to the skimmer

Power shuts off to the skimmer

What program do you have it on is it on advanced? Or a pump? Powerhead? Skimmer?

 

[homer1475]

Can you show the advanced tab?

 

[WIReefer]

Make it simple just change it to advanced then change

Initial off to 00:00

on time 10:00

off time 00:00

it’ll always run with this set like this.

Or just change the control type to "always". That way it's always on, until you figure out the programming.

If your new to the apex, I suggest reading @SuncrestReef tutorials in the stickies at the top of this section of the forums.

I always forget there is that option... been so long that approach is much easier

The feed timer you show there only takes effect if you click/push feed timer A on the dashboard/app. Something else is kicking it off. It’s probably tied to your return pump being on. Is your return pump also turning off at the same time? Maybe it has to do with that programming.

Return pump does not shut off. Just skimmer.

I figured it out finally. So simple. Always seem to overlook the simplest thing. Thanks all!!!!!
